Biography
Edward T. Fortune was born in New York City, New York, United States in 1950 to a family of Scottish descent; his surname originated in the Lothian region of Scotland as "Fortun". Fortune served in the US Army during the Vietnam War, and he was later recruited into the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He worked for the CIA in New York for years, using "United Liberty Paper" as a front for his covert operations. During the 2000s, he had several suspected terrorists and government opponents murdered, entrapping Serbian criminal Niko Bellic into working for the CIA after CIA agent Karen Daniels gathered information on Bellic's criminal past while working undercover as his girlfriend. Fortune had Bellic kill criminals Oleg Minkov, Adam Dimayev, and Eduard Borodin, and he also introduced Bellic to American Mafia crime boss Jon Gravelli, who gave him work that involved fighting against the Russian Mafia. Fortune would reward Bellic's efforts by having his enemy Darko Brevic kidnapped from Bucharest, Romania and delivered to JFK International Airport, where Bellic ultimately spared him after seeing that his life was already hellish. Fortune was later transferred to Los Angeles, and he was sent to investigate the FBI's involvement with anti-CIA activities. Fortune and several CIA agents arrived at the Getty Center in L.A. to arrest FBI agent Steve Haines for his involvement in criminal activities, but the arrival of Merryweather mercenaries led to a four-way shootout between the CIA, FBI, Merryweather, and Michael De Santa. Fortune was killed in the ensuing crossfire.
